How have Bad Religion lyrics been unambiguously correct on everything since '89?
It's simple 4/4 fast, wordy punk stabs with multipart vocal harmonies in the breakdowns (unless Gurewitz was authoring a track instead of Graffin). But man - that paleontologist really has our number.

But I gotta tell you: If you post a Spotify link, I'm not clicking it. Not happening.

Fuck Spotify!
neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social NEWT | Steve @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social · Jan 31
This is beyond f**ked now.

Spotify was already pushing it with the whole "no pay-out for any song with less than 1,000 streams per year"

No pay-out for any artist with less than 1,000 monthly listeners is remarkably abusive and exploitative toward small artists

theneedledrop.com/news/spotify...
Under the new partnership, both companies will attempt to eliminate monetization opportunities for pages with less than 1,000 monthly listeners and reallocate money from the general revenue pool to established artists, according to Route Note. This decision will also theoretically assist in Spotify's on-going issue of streaming fraud, where fake pages take money from the revenue pool through automated plays of AI-generated music.

Good for you! Need to see more of this. BandCamp is not perfect but at least you are in control of your music.

@ashenheartbm.bsky.social is pulling all of our music off of spotify. The recent changes to payouts led me to look more into their business dealings. I can no longer condone having music that is ostensibly anti-fascist on a platform entangled with the IDF. Read more below. Thanks for listening.
Ashenheart has pulled all our music off Spotify. In November 2021, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invested €100 million in Helsing, a company that uses AI to support militaries. Spotify CFO Christian Luiga was the former CFO of Saab, a company that has also invested in Helsing and supplies arms to the IDF. Spotify has an internal program called Perfect Fit Content, through which employees replace music from real artists on their curated playlists with low-budget slop from anonymous musicians to reduce royalty payouts. Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter revealed that ~20 songwriters were behind the work of more than 500 "artists", and that thousands of their tracks on Spotify had been streamed millions of times. Spotify has also encouraged artists to enroll their tracks in Discovery Mode, a pay-to-play program wherein musicians and labels receive fewer royalties in exchange for "algorithmic promotion." In 2024, Spotify stopped paying royalties for tracks under 1,000 yearly streams. A better world is possible. Somewhere beyond the horizon, it must be.

spotify is not a music platform, it’s a tech platform designed to extract wealth from musicians and place it into the pockets of executives. hope this helps.

funny how the most popular takeaway from this is "oh no, I'm old" and not "yeah, this music's timeless"

If you put on a TLC album right now, it’s roughly the equivalent of listening to Motown when you were in grade school.
